Pirate Halloween is here! (late!)
 

So, long story short, I discovered that there are a lot of Halloween songs, and a lot of pirate songs, but not really any Pirate Halloween songs. So, I decided to pioneer that narrow niche. I was really hoping to have a handful of songs to market and put up for sale via TuneCore this year, but actual Halloween snuck up on me far too quickly. Still, I had such fun doing these demo versions, I wanted to share them with you. I have until next year to refine and expand this into something I can bring to market. Meanwhile, please enjoy "Tales of the Hook: A Pirate Halloween."

I've got these four tunes up on YouTube for your perusal. Keep the spirit of Pirate Halloween all year long!

I. Pirate Halloween - the title track introduces a pirate captain rallying his crew for a raid on All Saint's Eve

II. The Hook At The Door - this is my pirate version of "Trick or Treat" - a mostly instrumental portrait of a raucous home invasion.

III. Blackbeard's Vengeance - a little (teeny tiny) bit of history and a whole lot of EC comics style revenge on this one.

IV. Isabella - This ghost story at sea is an epic for your ears, a ten-minute audio movie in song.

These same songs are also available on my iWeb page, if you have Quicktime, but I have had shaky luck getting it to play on my own computer. (My ipad digs it though.)

All together, this is a 22 minute journey, so if you have some time and some headphones, check it out on your next break, or wait til you get home and then crank it up. Thanks for looking in.

Wow, I'm impressed. It's clear you put a lot of work into this. Many layers of sound and lyric. :snap:

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!!
 

HOW did we miss this ?

I was doing a search on Halloween and found this post. OMFG, Flippy, what a magnificent voice you have, and incredible musical talent. AND the lyrics. We are blown away by all of these.

I hope you've got this ready for release this year, because the world NEEDS a Pirate Halloween.

You should be on Broadway, in the opinion of the LashPair. :cheers:

Hugs !

There will be an enhanced expanded release this year. Stay tuned.

And thanks so much for listening! I consider the versions posted above to be demo tracks.

I didn't know quite what to expect, and that wasn't what I expected. It was so much more! It's a great niche, you should take advantage of it! I'd buy several coppies myself!! I love them!!:snap:
